Popularity Contest Plugin
I’ve just hooked up the Popularity Contest WordPress plugin, and it’s pretty cool. Since it’s just now starting to collect data, most of the entries will be based on comments, but the most hardlinked pages should make it to the top pretty fast.
A word of warning if you want to use this plugin though, it doesn’t seem to play well with others. If you used the google search indexer, it apparently breaks it, but I don’t so it doesn’t. What broke it for me is the coppermine integration plugin, which as I went to check for updates I found is no longer maintained. Wonderful, so I guess now I’m in the market for alternate image galleries with decent coppermine migration scripts.
The issue was that for some reason the coppermine plugin is switching over to the coppermine db, so to fix this I had to set the $table_prefix global to manually reference the wp db in the akpc_init function. There’s got to be a more elegant fix, but it worked.
